Hello all previously I have shown how to list all contacts in your phone and in another post I showed how to programatically create a contact in android.
In today’s tutorial I will show you how to delete a contact in android programatically.
This simple code does that.
public static boolean deleteContact(Context ctx, String phone, String name) { Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phone)); Cursor cur = ctx.getContentResolver().query(contactUri, null, null, null, null); try { if (cur.moveToFirst()) { do { if (cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME)).equalsIgnoreCase(name)) { String lookupKey = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY)); Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI, lookupKey); ctx.getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null); return true; } } while (cur.moveToNext()); } } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.getStackTrace()); } return false; } |
